For hundreds of years men have attempted to breed the perfect racehorse, the one that will be outstandingly greater than all the others of its generation. This book, with Julian Wilson's personal selection of the greatest racehorses ever, is a chronicle of a number of those men's successful achievements; of the one horse in 10,000 that stands head and shoulders above the field. With profiles of Desert Orchid, Cigar, Shergar and Lammtarra amongst many others, every entry also includes the blood-lines of the horse. THE GREAT RACEHORSES is a tribute to the truly great racehorses of the past 200 years, from Eclipse to Dancing Brave on the flat, from Manifesto to Dawn Run under National Hunt rules. Some were bred by a genius who devoted a lifetime to the pursuit whilst others were bred completely by chance. Julian Wilson has not attempted an 'order of merit'; such a task would be impossible, as each horse has its own special story of triumph, tragedy and pathos. The true hero - or heroine - of each story is not the owner, the breeder, the trainer; it is that glorious sporting creature, the racehorse.

The Olive Oil Companion

This volume covers all aspects of olive oil production, describing cultivation, harvesting and pressing requirements and techniques. The differences between extra virgin and virgin olive oil are explained as are the characteristics of the different varieties of olive that are grown. Myths surrounding the use of oil for cooking are dispelled and important implications for a healthy diet are touched upon. The Directory which forms the main part of the book features over 100 oils, in each case looking at the history of the brand, its founders and its distinguishing taste. There is information on the land that the olives are grown on and how they are picked, together with unique characteristics about the oil-making process. At-a-glance information is provided on specific growing areas, annual produce, quality and other products available. Recipes from the users themselves offer a novel insight as to how they like to use their oil.

The History of Glass

History

From the early 1970s Linda Mc Cartney became widely recognised as a leading figure in the vegetarian movement and her steadfast determination to promote a non-meat eating world remained undiminished until her death. In the last year of her life Linda was working on a new book LINDA MCCARTNEY'S WORLD OF VEGETARIAN COOKERY - an international celebration of meat-free cuisine and a tribute to her lasting commitment to vegetarianism. Travels to far-flung places were an integral part of Linda's life and this exciting collection of recipes reflects her love of exotic places and cosmopolitan food, proving that vegetarianism need never be dull. This book will undoubtedly find a place in every kitchen while inspiring many to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle, as Linda would have wished. Amid a growing interest in international cuisine, this beautifully illustrated book demonstrates the vast range available to the meat-free cook.

DEGAS BY HIMSELF is a milestone in published approaches to the work of this remarkable figure. No other book has illustrated so many of Degas' works in colour, including his best-known paintings and sketches, as well as many works that will be unfamiliar to most people. The book draws on a range of sources - the artist's own notebooks and letters, as well as anecdotes and memoirs from his intimate circle - to trace a vivid portrait of Degas and reveal intimate aspects of his life and personality. His notebooks and letters show him as a forceful and expressive writer; there are letters to friends and customers, urgent messages to exhibitors at the Impressionist exhibition and, finally, a number of short and sad letters from his last years. Degas was also known as a wit and conversationalist, provoking a number of his friends to write down his words for posterity. For the first time, reminiscences and reported remarks have been brought together, conjuring up an unexpected picture of the artist as a man of wisdom and good humour.

Shopping for dinner has never been more confusing. The shelves are stacked with a dazzling array of products and more and more of them claim to benefit our health in some amazing way. We know that these claims are more about creating commercial opportunities for manufacturers than making us healthier. Still, if you're not much of a dietary expert, it's easy to fall for the spin. This is an issue that's about to become more urgent as there are new moves afoot to allow foods to carry an even greater range of claims about their potential to prevent disease than they do now. Thankfully, we have this timely book to help decode the semiotics of marketing-speak and decipher the arcana of the nutritional panel. Read the Label is an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand reference that exposes the truth of what's on the front, sides, and backs of the packaging and encourages the shopper to make fully informed choices and discriminate between competing products.
